  • Hey, thanks, it's the name I gave a program of mine, but I won't spoil the game by elaborating on the origin of the term. ^^

  • Ok, here comes my version, only with reversed causality:

    Watchan is a program designed to watch 4chan (and other imageboards but I think they aren't yet included in the configuration) and the next sentence is false.

Hmm, I think I have to note this paradox down in formalized notation to understand what I've just asserted... ^^

    Edit: Ok, I still don't fathom it.
